Morgan took charge on a short-term basis a month ago following
Danny Wilson’s departure and the former Blades captain maintained
the club’s npower League One promotion challenge, which ended on
Monday with defeat to Yeovil in the play-off semi-finals.

The 36-year-old informed chairman David Green of his desire to
remain in the job before leaving Huish Park and believes resolving
the situation as soon as possible will be best for all
involved.

“I want to be the one who leads the lads and I’ve told the board
and the chairman I want the job but it’s not my decision,” Morgan
told reporters after the defeat in Somerset.

“They are the ones who make the decision and I’ll probably speak
to the chairman on the way home. He’s excellent like that. Win,
lose or draw he always calls and asks if there is anything he can
do or if there is anything we want.

“I feel as though, despite what’s happened here, in the three
weeks or so we’ve been in that we’ve done well.

“It’s probably best to have a quick decision so we can start
planning straight away. That’s got to start right now.

“I haven’t made any firm plans in my mind because we’ve been
preparing for two big games. But, yes, I do have thoughts in my
mind of what this team and club needs.”

The England Under-21 goalkeeper is now back at Norwich and
attempts will be made during the close season to strike a deal with
the Canaries for another spell with the League One club.

Talks are not likely to get under way until Norwich’s season
ends on May 19, with the East Anglians currently fighting to
preserve their Premier League status.

“We are keen on bringing Declan back,” Grayson told the
Lancashire Evening Post. “He’s under contract at Norwich so we’ll
see where we go with that one.

“We’ve offered Thorsten Stuckmann a new deal and Declan is
something we’d like to do so that we have two very good goalkeepers
here.

“Agreeing a deal with Norwich for Declan is something much
further down the line. Norwich’s season still has a couple of weeks
to go and we have to respect that.”

The 48-year-old joined the Gulls in February as a temporary
replacement for Martin Ling, who was on sick leave as he recovered
from a stress-related illness.

Knill helped steer the club to League Two safety, and after
Ling’s departure was confirmed at the end of the campaign, the
former Scunthorpe boss was offered the job on a permanent
basis.

Chairwoman Thea Bristow told the club’s official website: “I am
absolutely thrilled to welcome Alan Knill as the new manager of our
club.

“Alan was obviously the number one candidate for the job and I
would like to personally thank him for his efforts last season.

“We welcome him to the permanent position of Torquay United
manager and look forward to happy times ahead.”
